Thanks for the birthday wishes and the congrats
Sooo here's my review of the whole thing:
My appointment was at 2:45 p.m., but I already signed in at 2 p.m.. There were only 2 people waiting there with me, and they got approved.. Then it was my turn, a very serious looking IO called me in at 2:20 p.m., he was very nice though, asked how I was and I told him I was good and asked how he was in return.
He showed hubby and me to his room and we all went in, then he swore us in. He asked me what my mom's and dad's name was, asked me when and where I was born, same with hubby. Then he said "You entered the US 2 years ago under the visa waiver program, is that right?" I just said yes and then he went on to the yes/no question from the I-485. Then he asked hubby if he was still Active Duty, hubby said yes, and that's it. He said "Okay, I'm going to approve your case. Because of the holidays it will take around 2 weeks until the green card gets to you." Then he explained the removal of conditions, wished me a happy birthday and said happy holidays.
The whole process took about 5 minutes lol. I was extremely scared because of my almost 2 year long overstay, because some people here on the forum had to scare the crap out of me lol, but it didn't even come up! I had also brought a big fat folder full with evidence of our ongoing marriage etc, and a few hundred letters that hubby and I wrote each other while he was in military training, and the IO didn't want to see any of it.
No personal talk, all business... But I'm so happy I'm finally done with this! Hopefully the GC will arrive soon, my EAD was in the mailbox when I got back today
I wish all of you all the best and hope that it'll go as smooth for you as it did for me!
